12 About your appliance
About your washer-dryer
Your New Appliance
Your new appliance is an automatic washer and ventless
tumble dryer by Splendide. Front-loading with a stainless
steel drum and an extra large door opening for easy loading
and unloading. It features 10 wash programs, 7 water temp.
settings, 3 dry programs, and a 1200 RPM max. spin speed.
About Condenser Drying
This appliance dries laundry by heating the laundry inside
the drum to create steam and then cooling the outer drum.
As the steam hits the cooled surface, it’s condensed back
into water and is pumped out through the drain system.
This process repeats until the clothes are dry. NOTE: This
drying process does not require any outside venting,
however, it does require approx. 5 gallons of COLD water
per your of dry time. Splendide’s ventless models DO NOT
add moisture or humidity to the surrounding area. All
humidity stays within the unit and is drained as water.
Automatic Dispenser Drawer
Automatically dispenses laundry aids (detergent, bleach,
softener) during the cycle.
Auto Water/Energy Control
Automatically adjusts the amount of water and energy to
use for each load.
Safety Door Lock
Protects you from opening the door when it is unsafe.
Express Wash
Washes lightly soiled Cotton Heavy Duty and Permanent
Press fabrics in less time.
More Rinse Cycles
Most washers have only 1 rinse following each wash while
your Splendide washer-dryer has up to 4. It rinses 2-3
times after every wash (except Express Wash) and features
an Extra Rinse button that adds yet another rinse to
remove even more dirt/detergent from fabrics
(recommended for those with detergent contact
allergies).
Foam Removal System
Your machine automatically measures the amount of
foam in circulation and adds water to the drum to remove
excess foam for the highest rinsing performance.
Recirculating Wash Feature
With your Splendide washer-dryer, no detergent is
wasted. Water recirculates and redistributes detergent
throughout the drum in a way that assures all detergent
is dissolved for max. resource efficiency.
Automatic Balance System
Every Splendide washer-dryer incorporates the latest
motor technology. When it detects an out-of-balance
load the motor will adjust speed (or come to a complete
stop) and reposition the load automatically.
Impulse Spin Technology
Your machine features Splendide’s exclusive IST processor
that varies pulse in low spin for less wrinkling, less wear
on clothing, less noise, less vibration, and improved
energy efficiency.
Extra-Large Door Opening
For easier loading and unloading.
1200 RPM High Spin
For better drying performance.
Extra-Durable
Heavy duty springs, shock absorbers. Stainless steel drum.
Dryer Cool Down
The last few minutes of the dry cycle, your dryer will carry
out a cool down period. Clothing will tumble freely
without heat. This will cool fabric, buttons and snaps for
safe handling and to reduce wrinkling.
ENERGY STAR
Uses very little water to get laundry spotlessly clean and
is up to 40% more efficient than non-Energy Star models.
Low Maintenance
Lint passes safely through a ‘self-cleaning pump’ and then
out the drain or dryer vent - so there’s no messy wash or
dry filter for you to clean.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
with-in an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and mainte-
nance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT
remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

About your appliance 15
IMPORTANT: Adjust laundry aid amounts for
heavily/lightly soiled loads, or hard/soft water.
NEVER EXCEED the recommended amounts of
detergent or fabric softener. Doing so could
impair wash results and cause damage to the
internal parts of your machine!
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER
SHEETS!
WARNING! Always dilute bleach before using.
Never overfill bleach dispenser. Excess bleach
could damage clothes.
IMPORTANT: The suds level should never rise
more than half way up to the porthole. Too much
foam will rise through the dispenser and make a
mess on your floor
IMPORTANT: Using fabric softener causes items
to release from the drum immediately after
high-speed spin, helping clothes to dry faster
while minimizing wrinkling and softening fabrics.
NOTE: Splendide recommends using 1 to 2 tbsp.
of a bio-friendly, or similar brand per wash load.
These softeners tend to appear light in color and
dissolve more quickly in less water, minimizing
build-up within your machine.
Laundry Aid Type / Amounts
Your Splendide requires smaller amounts of laundry
aids to get fabrics clean. Adding too much
detergent won’t necessarily make for a more
efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on
your clothes and inside your appliance and even
pollute the environment. Recommended laundry
aid amounts per wash load:
• Prewash detergent (Optional):
1 to 2 TBSP Powder
(or 1 TBSP Liquid)
• Detergent:
1 to 2 TBSP Powder
(or 1 TBSP Liquid)
• Fabric softener:
1to 2 TBSP (Liquid ONLY)
• Bleach (Optional):
DO NOT exceed the MAX fill line
About the Dispenser Drawer
Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash
cycle. The dispenser drawer has three
compartments (plus one removable bin) for adding
laundry products to the wash load. These
compartments are:
1
2
3
4
1 PreWash Detergent (With Bleach Bin
removed)
2 Detergent for the Wash Cycle (Powder
or Liquid)
3 Fabric Softener (Liquid)
4 Bleach (With Bleach Bin in place)
While not required, Splen-
dide recommends the use
of a High Efficiency (HE)
detergent. HE detergents
are quick dissolving and
low sudsing and will deliver
optimum results in your
front-loading machine.

Determining load sizes
Maximum WASH CYCLE capacity - Cottons: 15
lbs, Synthetics: 9 lbs, Delicates: 8 lbs, Wools: 3 lbs
Maximum DRY CYCLE capacity - 8 to 11 lbs.
Always allow space for air to flow around the
clothes when drying. In general, if your drying,
don’t fill the drum more than 1/2 to 3/4 full.

18 Washing and drying
Splendide laundry tips
• Wash cycles are 30 to 96 minutes.
• Dry times for average sized loads are 60 to 80
minutes
• Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU
MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is
normal.
• Once set, the DRY TIME, WATER TEMP and
CYCLE SELECTOR knobs won’t move.
• The door automatically locks during the wash
and dry cycles. To unlock the door, access the
drum, then RESUME the cycle, see DOOR
LOCK LED on page 13.
Combine large and small items in one full
load. When washing single items such as a
sweater, towel or jeans, add 1 or 2 similar
items to help balance the load. Single, hea vy
items such as abathrobe can be washed
separately.
Do not wash rugs that could come apart
and clog your machine.
For more delicate garments protect under-
wear, tights, stockings and other small or
delicate items by placing them in a mesh
laundry pouch while washing and drying.
When using the ‘Wool’ cycle, for best
results, use a detergent that is for wool
garments, taking care not to wash more th
an
2.2 lbs.
For best results,
• DON’T OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with
laundry by doing smaller loads every day or
two.
• DON’T EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT
OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS.
• When going from ‘was-to-dry’ automatically,
Always use a fabric softener (Or a Detergent
with built-in softeners) so clothes release from
the drum after the high speed spin.
• ONLY use ‘Cotton Heavy Duty’ for heavy
cottons (towels, jeans, etc.)
• For items that may wrinkle, use ‘Low Spin’ in
wash and ‘Synthetics Dry’
• To further prevent wrinkles, set a ‘wash
ONLY’ cycle with ‘LOW SPIN’ pressed. After the
wash cycle ends, remove large items (pants,
sheets, etc.) from the drum and shake them
out. Loosely fold them and place them back in
the drum. Then set a ‘Synthetics Dry’ cycle with
‘LOW HEAT’ pressed.
• For mixed DRY CYCLE loads, remove items
that may wrinkle while still damp (dress shirts,
etc.) Hand press and hang them. Then,
continue drying the rest (underwear, towels,
etc.)
• NEVER OVER DRY LAUNDRY. Over drying is a
major cause of wrinkling. A certain amount of
humidity is what makes fabrics soft and fluffy.
WARNING!
During the drying phase, the door tends to get
quite hot.
Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
been washed with flammable or chemical
solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
This appliance can only be used to dry clothes
that have been pre-washed in water.
Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
similar materials

Combo laundry FAQ’s
Is using a combination washer-dryer much
different than what I’m use to?
Yes, in some ways. You are washing and
drying in the same drum and load sizes are
smaller. Wash cycles a re similar, but because
combination washer-dryers are c ompact and
operate using 115V (vs. 230V), dry times are
longer. Instead of washing several, bulky loads
of laundry in one day, you’ll learn to adjust
your laundry habits to launder smaller, more
convenient loads every day or two.
Why do I need to load my drum less full
for ‘dry’ and ‘wash-to-dry’ cycles?
Your machine ca
n wash larger loads than it
can dry. Remember, separate washers a nd
dryers have drums of different sizes (the dryer
drum is usually 2 times bigger), and your
machine washes and dries in the same drum.
When you program your machine to ‘dry’ or
‘wash-to-dry’ you must load the drum no more
than 1/2 to 3/4 full. (NOTE: Automatic wash-
to-dry not available when Silk is selected)
What factors affect drying times?
Drying times depend largely on the type of
material (some fibers absorb more wa ter than
others), and the dampness of the arti
cles when
drying is started (1200 RPM spin vs. 800- 600
RPM spin), and on the amount of laundry that
is being dried. Jeans, towels and similar
(rather thick) articles will take longer to dry.
20 Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance
Turning off the water or
electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every wash. This
will limit the wear of your appliance’s water
system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your
appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation
and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance
can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it
out. Wash it under running water; repeat as
needed.
Caring for your appliance
door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar
to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
Checking the water inlet
hoses
Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year.
Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see
any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses
immediately; During the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could
easily split open.
Cleaning the interior
The interior of the machine should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service technician. Over
time, continual oversudsing can clog up the
condensing chamber and fan blower with lint and
reduce drying efficiency.
IMPORTANT: Replace the inlet hoses at
least every five years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. When replacing the
inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
WARNING! Never use inlet hoses that have
already been used.
